Tiakiwai Conference Centre

Tiakiwai is one of the streams that run off Te Ahumairangi, the hill that dominates the skyline behind Thorndon. The Tiakiwai Conference Centre sits off our own Te Ahumairangi, the ground floor of the National Library building in Wellington.

The Centre offers two seminar rooms, Pipitea and Thorndon. Book one for your meeting, function, or event, or both together when you need more space.

When you get in touch, please let us know your preferred time and date, any catering requirements, your contact details (including your organisation, if applicable), whether you would like to book one or both rooms, and how you would like the room set up. We'll get back to you quickly to make sure everything meets your needs.

Capacity

Each room is 62 square metres, and can be set up in many different ways. If you book both seminar rooms, they can be opened up onto each other for easy use.

When you make a booking, you choose how you want us to set it up.
